The examination OF the books aud accounts of Michael
H. Murphy, Hobokens absconding water registrar
begun yesterday by William A. Macy, the expert
countant appointed by the Water Commissioners Pub
lie opinion in Hoboken thoroughly aroused and

made OF the accounts OF every official who handles the
city's money. some presumably "eltinformed peo-
Murphys deficiency would reach 100000.
Among the developments in tho yesterday

deficiency then of $20637 81 This false report also
approved by the Water Commissioners The committee

the city charter which says:

JOSEPH CONFESSES.
He Has Lost SOB, 1855 OF odd Fellows
Money in Mining Specu'ations.

GALVESTON, Feb. 17.--For several
days past rumors have been floating
about the street regarding Thomas M.
Joseph, treasurer of the Grand Lodge,
Odd Fellows of Texas. His many
friends here were 10th to
believe that Mr.. Joseph's ac-
counts with the Grand Lodge
were in any way irregular. Last night
cx-Lieut.-G ovcrnor Barnett Gibbs of
Dallas, recently elected Grand Master
of the State Lodge, arrived in the city
for the purpose of asceI tanning the
exact condition of Treasurer Joseph's
account. Mr.. JC 'pf has been absent
from the city o"i since the
recent meeting of the Grand Lodge
at Austin, where he was an un-
successful candidate for reelection.
At that meeting he reported all the
funds, some $4,000, as being on hand.
Mr.. Joseph returned to tho city this
morning from Huntsville, where ho
has been visiting relatives. Shortly
after his arrival Mr.. Gibbs sought
an interview with him. Tonight |
Grand Master Gibbs made
known the painful result of
his Investigations. He states in brief
that Treasurer Joseph makes clear
confession that he is short in his ac-
counts and unable to make it good;
that the entire und, amounting to
1923, 1856, was lost in mining ventures
which proved utter failures. The
aged treasurer throws himself on the
mercy of the order, but Grand Master
Gibbs says he will institute criminal
proceedings against him Immediately.
Mr.. Gibbs seems very earnest
in his determination to prosecute the de-
faultng official, and says he will not spare
him at any cost. Treasurer Joseph has
been an honored citizen of Galveston for
nearly forty years; was elected mayor Of
the city in 1853 and again in 1860, serving
until the fall OF 1862 through the early Pc
riod of the civil war. Ever since that time
he has occupied a conspicuous and honora-
BILE position. This great misfortune comes
upon him in his old age and, notwithstand-
ing its ugly character, his many lifetime
friends bear him great sympathy. II is re-
ported tonight that Joseph is practically
under arrest and is utterly prostrated by
the affair.
